COMBINED TICK ET PUNCH AND STAMP.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 508,821, dated November14, 1893.

Application filed May 11, 1892- Serial No. 432,624. (No model.)

have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in a Combined TicketPunch and Stamp, of which the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription, reference being hadfto the accompanying drawings, formingpart of this specification.

The invention consists in certain details of construction as hereinafterdescribed and set forth in the claims.

FigureI is a perspective view of the instrument. Fig. II is a side viewof the same with the hinged cover thrown open, part being inlongitudinal section taken at 11-11, Fig. III. Fig. III is a detail topview with part broken Fig. IVis a detail side view with the hinged coverremoved. The parts are shown in, full lines in normal position and bydotted lines in position of action. Fig. V is a detail end viewillustrating Fig. V1 is a detail bottom view with parts broken out.

. 1 and 2 are the jaws having handles 1 and 2 pressed apart by a spring3. The jaw 1 carries upon its top a punch 4 and a rubber stamp 5. Thestamp is set in a suitable recess 6 and may be changed at will. It mayconsist of diiferent figures and letters. The jaw 2 has an upturned part2 that carries on its inner side a porous pad 7 that is saturated withmarking ink when the instrument is in condition for use.

8 is a frame composed of two similar bent levers connected by a pintle 9on which turns an inking roller 10. The levers are pivoted upon lugsprojecting from the part 2". The construction is such that when theparts are in normal position, shown in Figs. I, II, III and IV, theinking roller rests on the face of the rubber stamp. WVhen theinstrument is in. use the inking roller is removed from the stamp andrests against the pad 7 receiving ink therefrom, as shown by dottedlines in Fig.1V- The relative position of the parts is such that as thejaw l is raised (by the approach of the handles 1 and 2 the jaw 1 pushesthe ink roller to .the pad 7. The lower ends 8* of the levers are pusheddown by'the jaw 1 as it moves toward its normal position and this againcarries the inking roller over the rubber stamp. v 11 is the cover whichis pivoted at 12 to the bottom of the jaw 2 and which is capable ofmoving from the clos'ed position shown in Fig. I to the open positionshown in Fig. II or vice versa. When the cover is open the pad 7 may bereplenished with ink or the rubber stamp changed as desired. When thecover is closed the instrument is in position for use.

13are spring catches that engage in holes 14 of the sides of the cover,these catches being pushed out by the springs 15 and drawn in, todisengage the cover by knobs 16 working in transverse slots 17 in thebottomofthe jaw 2 in which jaw the catches havebearmg. The cover has .alongitudinal slot 18 in which the edge of the ticket is inserted; andthe ticket when soinserted is between the top 11 of the cover and thepunch and rubber stamp below.

19 is a punch hole into which the punch passes when the jaw l is" forced,upward by forcing the handles v1 and 2 together; at the same time thestamp 5 presses the ticket against the top plate of the cover and printsthe design of the rubber stamp upon the ticket. Thus the ticket issimultaneously punched and printed.

I claim as my invention- V 1. The combination, in a combined punch andstamp, of the printing stamp carried on the jaw 1. and. an inking rollercarried on a frame actuated by the jaw 1 and pivoted to the other jaw 2and adapted to ink the stamp, substantially as, and for the purpose setforth. 2. In a combined punch and stamp for hand use, a jaw 1 carrying apunch 4 and stamp 5 and a pivoted frame 8 carrying an inking rolleradapted to roll over the face. ofthe stamp, projection 8 of the frameand an ink pad 7, all constructed and adapted to operate substantiallyas set forth.

3. The combination, ina combined ticket punch and stamp, of the two jaws1 and 2, the former carrying the punch 4. and stamp 5,

and the latter (2) carrying the pivoted inking frame 8 with inkingroller and projections 8, and'an inking pad 7 and acover 11 ivoted tothe jaw 2and provided with the punch hole 19, and slot 18, and havingasurface adapted to hold the ticket to the stamp, all substantially asset forth.

4. The combination, in a combined ticket punch and stamp, of the jaw 1having the punch 4 and stamp 5, the jaw 2 having the cover 11 and theink roller frame 8 pivoted thereto, the ink pad attached to the jaw 2,the punch-hole l9 and surface to resist the pressure of the stampagainst the inner side of the ticket, and means for locking the cover ina closed position, substantially as set forth.

5. The combination of the upper and lower jaws pivoted together, a coverloosely con-
